A Study on the Cultivation of Critical Thinking Ability in Argumentative Writing

研究对某省属高校英语专业大二学生的议论文进行分析,探明了其议论文写作中表现出的思辨特征,以此为基础,在社会文化理论指导下实施了教学实验,探究了形成性评价对学生议论文写作中思辨能力培养的作用,结果表明社会文化视角下形成性评价活动的实施为思辨活动提供了中介和支架,创造了提高思辨能力的环境,有利于内化思辨意识、培养思辨习惯、掌握思辨方法,从而提高思辨能力。

This study first explores the characteristics of critical thinking shown from English major sophomore students'nargumentation writing in a provincial university.Based on this,a teaching experiment was carried out to investigate the role of formative assessment in the cultivating of students'critical thinking ability in argumentative writing under the guidance of socio-cultural theory.The results show that the implementation of formative assessment could provide intermediary and support for carrying out critical thinking activities and creates an environment conducive to the improvement of critical thinking ability,which is beneficial to internalize critical thinking consciousness,foster critical thinking habits,and grasp critical thinking skills so as to improve students'critical thinking ability.
